Vic Mignogna Lawsuit |OT| Hold My Beard (Update: Appeal lost, Mignogna must pay attorney fees to defendants)
- Thread starter Sibersk Esto
- Start date
At the risk of making light of the situation, seeing Casey so completely undisturbed by Beard's threats had me feeling inspired.
Eh. Making Beard Freeza is too nice. He's more of a Recoome at best.
Even then only if you pretend the Vegeta, Krillian l, Gohan fight doesn't exist.
If you're asking about some new details I don't know, if you were asking about my post, I was thinking of these exchanges from the evidence in Beard's motion to compel:

He is more of Cui, an ashole that as soon as he starts loosing his adventage becomes a coward.
Has anyone seen Vic's Broly headshot from his latest tweet? It's pretty cringy...
Kinda funny considering he hates this role.

It's like looking at some weeb's shirtless pic on a dating app.
So you are saying he has the power level of One Raditz? :P
He's more like Cui as in being a nobody who thinks he's a main rival when no one knows he exists and when he finally steps up to fight he is immediately killed.
Sure looking that way. Not to mention the rest:
Sure seems like Vic has something to hide....
They didn't Bates label the documents? Like that is legal documents 101. How do you not know to do that.
Oh my fucking god, this is hilarious.Some absolute fucking GEMS
Judge didn't know Beard was a lawyer
He doesn't even fucking stand to address the judge
Super lawyer? More like super incompetent.Some absolute fucking GEMS
Judge didn't know Beard was a lawyer
He doesn't even fucking stand to address the judge
Fear the Beard? More like Can't Even Ty His Own Shoes. This is a level of incompetence that exceeds expectations.Some absolute fucking GEMS

This isn't even the most embarrassing thing he did. Right at the end he basically said the confidentiality request was bullshit and they were only making it to avoid an Anti-SLAPP before deposing the defendants. Bull had to step in and basically go "No, ignore him. It's because we might talk about contracts."Some absolute fucking GEMS

End result seems to be depositions will now happen in the court building and the Judge will rule on any confidentiality issues on a case by case basis. It's a loss for the prosecution as they were basically asking for a vague confidentiality agreement up front but nothing too important especially given Beard mentioned the real reason being to avoid receiving an Anti-SLAPP response after the Defendants depose Vic but before the Prosecution deposed the Defendants. Something which the Judge seems to basically brush off as never actually being something that could happen anyway making this whole thing a bit of a waste of time.
I'm sure someone with actual law experience can clarify whether I've misunderstood something about it though.

well they never specified who should fear the beard. turns out it was vic all along
If anyone would rather read the transcript as a PDF, I have it here:
The fear I have for this case is how long it'll take from the process itself or how much they'll try to delay it.
Here's what I don't get.
If by some insane miracle, Vic wins his lawsuit, do his fans think he'll get his job back?
If anything, he'll just be blacklisted by all the major studios. Hell, he's probably already blacklisted.

He probably would have been fine if he lay low and came back after making an apology and people would have forgotten about it
The lawsuit probably killed his career longer than if he shut up
Hey yeah he lost his ability to get a job in acting. Only job he can get is through friends like with Nick Robinson.
The thing is for the current ConVics it's not about Vic at all. Well maybe someone of them care, but what this is really about for them is culture war.
It's all about the lying feeeemmmalllless who accused him of sexual assault and the White Knight beta cucks who defend them.
Percy and Screech are just there to get money they figured this was an easy FUNimation will want to settle a lawsuit.

Thank you for linking this, I needed this pick-me-up this week. The incompetence is staggering. And to think some of my fellow writers thought these clowns might have stood a chance, once. This thread gives me life.
You got to be fucking kidding me?Some absolute fucking GEMS

Hahahahaha
Y'all should read some of the latest tweets from Doucette and such. They amended the motion to compel, and there's now more emails at the end that are even more laughable. Beard responding to very professional emails about harassment concerns with all the tact of a Twitter rando.
Not to mention one of the other unrelated lawyers that's commenting on this talking about how all this is just going to invite the defense being able to bring in what Beard's done with Nick and KF and such.
Starting to think the way he acts might actually blow up in his face.

So basically, Funi and Monica's team believe that Beard and co are trying to basically exhaust them financially with a long, drawn-out legal battle that they have no intention of actually winning, and they just hired lawyers who specialize in shutting down that kind of legal campaign?
More or less. It doesn't even need to be that long or drawn out though, legal fees are expensive so scaring people with nonsense lawsuits like this can make them panic and give up quickly.
Vic's team are also fully aware that what they are doing would be susceptible to an anti-SLAPP case because they literally said as much to the judge.
Right. And TX has pretty broad anti-SLAPP laws. If Funi gets the case dismissed, then Vic (as the plaintiff) will be ordered to pay Funi's legal costs (up to a point) and pay a punitive amount (in the case of defamation suits, which Vic has brought) so as to discourage the plaintiff from bringing such lawsuits in the future.
Jesus, how fucking shitty of a lawyer you have to be to have a judge ask you "are you a lawyer?" and then be asked to stand up like you are a child being disciplined?
Scratch that I'll answer my own question: the kind of shitty lawyer who has to resort to asking people to doxx their opponents because they have nothing to actually defend their clients.

The judge pretty much asked Vic's lawyers this same question.
And a lot of his stans legit think that he'll end up owning Funimation...
I've been saying for months now that those livestreams would come back to bite Beard in the ass.
Yep, I have seen a bunch of idiots thinking that if Vic wins this Funimation will be ordered to reinstate his contracts and give him even more roles.
Because that's how any of this works.
I believe SLAPPs fall into the territory of frivolous lawsuits; the measures to eliminate them don't necessarily revolve around their strategic use as much as their lack of substance. So I think taking the anti-SLAPP focus works equally if Beard is malicious and if he's just so fucking stupid that someone looks at their lawsuit and says "well, this is dumb".
I do think he's been trying intimidating tactics, it's just that he's really bad at it when he isn't getting someone else to do it for him (see the enclosed definition of feces for further evidence) and so the defense's attorney has appeared to be pretty nonchalant about it. I'm not sure how much he's been sticking to that strategy over an attempt to legitimately win though because I don't think he's got that level of thoughtfulness behind his actions.

Reminds me of what happened with Ken Penders vs. Archie, he won but it was a prryic victory since he ended up getting blacklisted by other comic publishers.
